I agree. Here in Dallas/Fort Worth, TCU has the only 'real' college radio
station in the area [that broadcasts a wide range of programming farther than
fifty feet]. At night we play the same 200 playlisted "modern rock" songs. Every
night. And all day on Saturday. It gets a little disgusting.
There are plenty of students here who are keen on programming their own
specialty shows. But they aren't granted that privilege. The only thing KTCU
management seems to be really interested in is promoting the Toadies or Tripping
Daisy or any similar mediocre local rock artists. I had to plead my arse off to
get a idm/ambient/dub show [which should be on the air early April], and I might
have to deal with a shitty time slot [2am - 5am Fridays], but at least it's a
start.
It pains me to see a facility as modern as KTCU in a city as cosmopolitan as
Dallas/Fort Worth almost completely wasted. I feel very strongly about
non-conventional radio; commercial or not. I'm glad someone else does.
Which brings me to a good question. Which domestic labels could I count on for
support [i.e.: new releases + performance info]? I have an outstanding personal
library regardless. It's nice to be able to weasel new material, though.
